Windows Forum / Windows XP / 64-bit / September 2007Printing from a mac to windows vista across a network
We have a small network with a single macintosh computer. The printers are both attached to the windows vista machine. I've shared both of these printers on the vista machine, and the mac can see them. However, the mac isn't able to successfully send a print job to the printer. Any idea why that is? Thanks! Fletch Hi, I have NO experience with apple, but you may have a look here : http://www.tomshardware.com/de/mit-dem-apple-mac-ins-windows-netzwerk,testberich te-1335-7.html its in german and you may translate it via google ?! Another solution might be InternetPrintingProtocol IPP jk >Hi, >I have NO experience with apple, but you may have a look here : This article talks about printing from a Mac-Mini (OS-X 10.4 Tiger) going the wireless route to a PC (unspecified Windows). You search from the Mac's pinter-manager for a Windows printer, log-on (as admin) on the PC network, and then you should see a list of selecteable printers connected to the PC, add the one you want, and it should show up in the list on the Mac's pinter-manager. jud This sounds like a permissions/authentication issue. On your Vista machine, check your Network and Sharing Center. If you have password-protected sharing turned on, everything you share requires that valid local credentials be supplied prior to accessing them. This normally happens seamlessly if you have the same account names and passwords on multiple machines. You could try two things: 1. Turn password-protected sharing off. (Note: this setting causes Vista to authenticate all network users as "Guest". Yhis means that everyone on the network will receive read-only access to all your shared resources.) 2. Try adding the mac account name/password to your Windows machine as its own account. (You can remove the account from the Users group in Computer Manager to keep this account off of your startup account selection screen). - John ----- Original Message ----- From: <fletcher.sean@gmail.com> Newsgroups: microsoft.public.windows.64bit.general Sent: Wednesday, August 29, 2007 10:41 PM Subject: Printing from a mac to windows vista across a network > We have a small network with a single macintosh computer. > The printers are both attached to the windows vista machine.
